CHILD SAFETY It makes a difference how and where you use your flat panel display As you enjoy your new product, keep these safety tips in mind
The issue The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger TVs are popular purchases. However, TVs are not always supported on the proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. We and the consumer electronics industry are committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe. TVs that are inappropriately placed on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, or carts may fall over and cause injury.
Tune into safety • • • • •
•
One size of TV stand does not fit all. Use only a TV stand rated for the weight of your TV. Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product. Don’t let children to climb on or play with entertainment system furniture and TVs. Don’t place TVs on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers. Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger-than-life” TV. Make sure that you place or install the TV where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down. Make sure that you route all cords and cables so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.
Wall mounting If you decide to wall mount your TV, always: • One size of wall mount does not fit all. Use only a wall mount rated for the weight of your TV and that has been recommended by this TV manufacturer, listed in this manual, or otherwise listed by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, or ETL) as suitable for your TV. • Follow all instructions supplied by the TV and wall mount manufacturers. • If you have any doubts about your ability to safely wall mount your TV, get help from a professional installer. • Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the TV is appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls backed with steel studs or cinder blocks. If you are unsure, ask a professional installer. • TVs can be heavy. At least two people are required for safe wall mount installation.

Safety information This symbol indicates that dangerous voltage constituting a risk of electric shock is present within your TV. This label is located on the back of your TV. This symbol indicates that there are important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying your TV. Warning Your TV contains tin-lead solder and a fluorescent lamp containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated for environmental reasons. For disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance at www.eia.org.
Important safety instructions 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Read these instructions. Keep these instructions. Heed all warnings. Follow all instructions. Do not use your TV near water. Clean the cabinet with a dry cloth only. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from your TV. Only use attachments or accessories specified by the manufacturer. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer. Unplug your TV during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when your TV has been damaged in any way, such as the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into your TV, your TV has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
16 Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your TV, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of your TV, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized service person. Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits your TV. 17 Ensure that you connect the earth ground wire to prevent possible electric shock. If grounding methods are not possible, have a qualified electrician install a separate circuit breaker. Do not try to ground the unit by connecting it to telephone wires, lightening rods, or gas pipes. 18 The main plug is the disconnecting device. The plug must remain readily operable.
Outdoor antenna grounding If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with respect to correct grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of the antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Connecting an outside antenna
Connecting to an external signal source
Antenna cables come in two types: 75 ohm and 300 ohm. 75 ohm cable
You can connect a DVD, VCD, VCR, or STB using a variety of methods, including composite cables, component cables, an S-Video cable, or an HDMI cable. The S-Video cable does not carry sound. If you use an S-Video cable, you need to use audio cables to connect the audio output.
300 ohm cable
Warning Make sure that you turn off and unplug your TV before connecting devices.
• •
If your antenna cable has a 75 ohm connector, connect the cable to the coaxial jack on the back of your TV. If your antenna cable has a 300 ohm connector, connect the cable to a 300-75 ohm adapter (not included), connect the adapter to a 75 ohm cable, then connect the other end of the 75 ohm connector to the coaxial jack on the back of your TV.
Connecting cable TV Your TV has a 75 ohm jack for connecting cable TV. Some cable TV providers scramble the signals for “premium” (pay) channels. To view these channels, you need a converter/descrambler box. If you do not have a converter/descrambler box, you can connect your cable TV directly to your TV. If you have a converter/descrambler box, you can connect your cable TV using an RF switch (not supplied). For more information about connecting a converter/descrambler box, contact your cable TV provider. To connect cable TV without a converter/descrambler box: 1 Connect one end of a 75 ohm cable to the coaxial jack on the back of your TV. 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the cable TV wall outlet.
Note For better video, use the S-Video jack if your device has an S-Video connection. For best video, use the HDMI jack if your device has an HDMI connection.
To connect an external signal source: 1 For composite video—Plug the audio/video cable into the AUDIO L/R and VIDEO IN (7) jacks on the back of your TV, then connect the other ends to the corresponding jacks on the external signal source. Or For S-Video—Plug in the audio cables as described above, then plug one end of an S-Video cable into the S-Video jack (3) on the back of your TV, then plug the other end into the S-Video jack on the external signal source. Or For component video—Plug the Y, Pb, and Pr video cables and the Audio L and Audio R cables into the COMPONENT VIDEO IN (6) and AUDIO L/R (5) jacks on the back of your TV, then plug the other ends of the cables into the corresponding jacks on the external signal source. Or
To connect cable TV with a converter/descrambler box: • Use the following illustration to connect a converter/descrambler box. (The RF switch and the signal splitter are not provided.) Set the RF switch to the A position to tune to unscrambled channels using your TV remote control. Set the RF switch to the B position to watch scrambled channels using the converter/descrambler controls. Two-set signal splitter
